The State of the Union address delivered by President Donald Trump drew an estimated 28 million viewers across major networks, according to early Nielsen data.

In a separate report, NBC News highlighted the contrast between Trump’s optimistic tone and the more detailed information presented during the address. The report noted that while Trump touted a “golden age of America,” the speech also included gory details about various issues facing the country.
Politico reported that Trump’s speech did not provide much for Congress to do before the upcoming midterm elections, sparking debate among lawmakers and observers.
For those interested in fact-checking the claims made during the State of the Union address, NPR has released an annotated fact check of President Trump’s speech.
